TOP REGULAR SEASON TEAM – OHA GOLD MAVERICKS
Despite the fact that their status as a hockey school eliminates them from the opportunity to compete for the TELUS Cup, the OHA Gold Mavericks put together an impressive run in the Ontario East Minor Hockey League, winning the regular season championship by three points over Eastern Ontario thanks in large part to a 12-game unbeaten streak to finish their schedule. The offence was good for the Mavericks, scoring 117 goals, good for second in the league, but it was defence that led the way, allowing less than two goals per game (55 in 28 games). Ricky Young put his name atop the OEMHL scoring race with 24 goals and 47 points, one of five Mavericks to record more than 20 points. Between the posts, Liam Lascelle lost just once in 15 appearances, and posted a league-leading 1.54 goals-against average and three shutouts.
